The Effects of the Altruistic Transmitting Information in Internet Environment on QOL

Abstract

We set up the following theoretical hypothesis that has never been studied so far; the altruistic transmitting information (ATI) in internet envionment improves social skill, real human relations, and quality of life (QOL). It was investigated and analyzed statistically based on questionnaire surveys of university students in the information sciences, and the hypothesis was analyzed by the structural quation model. The results appeared to verify our hypothesis, and ATI gave them the stronger improvement effect, in comparison with all-inclusive transmitting information. Moreover, it was suggested that ATI in interest had one's place as a bridge with altruistic behavior in the real world.
